Knots and links without parallel tangents | Ying-Qing Wu
; | Date: |
6 Dec 1999 | Subject: | Geometric Topology MSC-class: 57M25 | math.GT | Abstract: | Steinhaus conjectured that every closed oriented $C^1$-curve has a pair of anti-parallel tangents. Porter disproved the conjecture by showing that there exist curves with no anti-parallel tangents. Colin Adams rised the question of whether there exists a nontrivial knot in $R^3$ which has no parallel or antiparallel tangents. The main result of this paper solves this problem, showing that any (smooth or polygonal) link $L$ in $R^3$ is isotopic to a smooth link $hat L$ which has no parallel or antiparallel tangents. | Source: | arXiv, math.GT/9912050 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
